Blind Assessment
High-toned, fruit-driven. Mulberry, cocoa nib, tangerine zest, pink peppercorn, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy-bright acidity; viscous, velvety mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of mulberry and tangerine zest with undertones of pink peppercorn.
Notes
Guji is nestled next to the better-known Yirgacheffe and Sidamo growing regions; it shares their devotion to the distinctive, largely indigenous varieties of Arabica long grown in these regions. This is a “natural” or dry-processed version (dried in the whole fruit). Kakalove Café is a nano-roaster located in the small city of Chia-Yi in Taiwan that strives to procure and roast the finest quality coffee.

Bottom Line
A uniquely composed cup — think mulberry and pink peppercorn — with a crisp cocoa throughline.
